VIN and Engine Code???

Ok I'm new guys so bear with me if this is posted somewhere else here...
I have been trying to figure out what engine code my 93 camry has. It is the 4cyl model with vin 4T1SK11E0PU177777, when I go here and check my vin I get K - 1NZ-FXE for the engine code. looking through the forums I have never seen this code. Does anyone know which engine I have? Thanks in advance!!

You said that it was a 4 cyl. If it is the engine its a 5S-FE. If it is a 6 cyl you have two different possibilities, there is the 1MZ-FE, or the 3VZ-FE. Seems that the engine code you have is for the 2004 Prius. That interesting....

Hmmm

Ok, all the vins match.. The sticker under the hood says: Engine Family PTY2.25FFE4. And the one on the door says: Model SXV10L-CEPDKA. I'm starting to think the VIN checker is busted, lol.....

Problem Solved!

Ok, so toyota changed the way you decode the vins after 1996 and most of the vin checkers out there are for this new format... Here is a great article that FULLY explains Toyota VINs!!!!
